the education coming locally. the billions we spend in unfunded man dates come to the local school districts. let's bring the money, like i said earlier, i trust the governor far more than i trust some bureaucrat back in washington d.c. >> thank you. look nobody understands the importance of getting a good education better than me. i'm the first person in my family to go to college. our kids are no longer just competing with other states, montana, new mexico, new york, they're competing with commine na and other emerging economies throughout the world. we have to give our kids the tools so they can compete. you have 1345u8er class sizes and awe tract quality teachers and you provide flexibility for the local school districts so they can implement these standards but in their own way and own speed. then we have to do something to get down this dropout rate. it's high. and you do that by adding to our community college. not everybody is college bound but everybody has to make a living. improve our community colleges

one thing i would like to agree with is where the rubber meets the road is education. the reason why we have this whole argument is a big gap in the academic qualifications children coming out of first grade and high school. that is where we should be pooling our resources. i want to be clear. i am by no means saying that students of color should not be at the best university. if they are admitted on a similar standards, or slightly different standards than the other students, that's great. the problem is not whether you are a student of color. if you are taken into university, you are very much less prepared academically than your classmates -- it is likely to harm you, not hurt you. if you are well qualified, you'll be fine. >> our next caller comes from cleveland, ohio. >> since it is not done out in the open, you do not have any statistics to prove that students that are admitted with an affirmative action program failed. another thing i would like to comment on -- the other program, the other leg of the school, that legacy, what is it called? when you get into col
